localparam and parameter values in Synthesis report

I am writing a parameterized Verilog module. In the module I calculate some localparam values using the parameter valued passed. Please seed the code below for example. I want to know the values calculated for localparam during synthesis. But I cannot find that information in reports shown in the Quartus Prime software. I am using Quartus Prime Lite edition.

Where can I find that information?

module Counter #(CLOCK_FREQUENCY=25000000,TIME=1000000)(
input Clk,
input Start,
output reg End
);

localparam megs = (CLOCK_FREQUENCY/1000000)*TIME;

      No, I didn't try to simulate it.

      But, the code synthesizes and works when programmed to an FPGA chip.

    Hi,


    You may check the parameter value in Processing > Compilation Report > Synthesis > Parameter Settings by Entity Instance > Parameter Settings for XX.


    Thanks

    This is an old thread, but I found it because I have the same question. I may have a large number of localparams in a verilog module with complicated expressions. I would like to ensure that all of them are calculated as I expect, that I got operator precedence, rounding and such right.

    Now since Quartus calculates all these localparams at some point, it would be very useful to be able to see the result in a report. I tried Parameter Settings by Entity Instance, but it only shows parameters, not localparams.

    I would really not have to set up a simulation just to be able to see values that are already computed. Is there a way to see them? Would changing them from localparams to parameters (temporarily) do the trick?
